PRAISE FOR WHITE BUTTERFLY AND HER WINGS OF MANY COLORS
“The popular saying, ‘Wait for it!’ flooded my mind with smiles as I read this sweet story. Life is comprised of cycles, and eagerness so often presses against them impatiently. Each one being so distinct in itself is filled with wonder and beauty to behold. If we could hold the rush of our souls, if we could tenderly wait for it, we would rejoice to see … the best is yet to be! The illustrations by Susan Andra Lion delight with the whisper of anticipation as a tender little leaf bud fills his cycle of life in full glory.”
~ Darleen Wohlfeil, Story Monsters Magazine
